The array of English-language preschools and kindergartens operating in Prague is truly astounding -- there are currently at least 30. As this is your child's first step into the world of education, there are several factors you might consider when choosing a suitable preschool, especially in a foreign country. The type of curriculum, or whether your child will feel happier in a larger, multinational school or in a smaller, family-like preschool setting are important choices to weigh. Cost and location are also decisive factors. In any case, you can be sure that your little ones will gain valuable life experience in an international, multilingual and intercultural school environment. All of the schools listed here welcome visits from prospective parents, so check out as many as you like before making an informed choice. Ask to visit on a "typical" day. Finally, parents are encouraged to discuss their experiences with the city's various English-language schools on Prague TV's Expat Q & A forum.
